DIY push on/off button

Anybody have a good source for a cool but simple on off button for a DIY amp?

I would like it to be a round brush nickel button with/without a blue light around the button.

I have googled and searched but I have come up empty.

Thanks,

Scott

Short answer - no I don't.
Slightly longer answer: Here are two - potentially - good places to look (if you haven't already):
www.allelectronics.com
www.partsconnexion.com

EDIT: Towson, eh? I went to high school in Towson :-)

oh, another potential source - www.tubesandmore.com

What HS in Towson, what year?

I went to EVT '85.

I used this switch on my preamp, and it works great and is quite bright; only requires 120v source to power the LEDs which is nice. Black body is not my favorite, but switch is cheap is works well.

I have one exactly like you are talking about in my DIY DAC, but green instead of blue that I got from mouser. I don't remember the manufacturer, but I'll try to search it out. I bought it over 2 years ago, so I don't know if they still carry it or not. I know it came in blue as well. Let me check and I'll post again if I find it.

Does it need to be single pole or double pole, or what configuration? The one I have is DPDT.

I found these, but they are all SPST. Hopefully one of these works: http://www.mouser.com/Schurter/Elect...z0z810&FS=True

It's similar to the switch I used.

Nope, got it. It's just like this one:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/...KOxSsu7DrTqjuz

Nope! It's the one in the above post that you want (I believe).

Thanks guys!!!!! I will take a look at all of your suggestions.

Wiring up a touch mount switch would be pretty cool on an amp.
